Greenfield Senior Symposium: "Live Music in America from Jenny Lind to Beyonce"
Greenfield Senior Symposium: "Live Music in America from Jenny Lind to Beyonce"
With video and audio examples, Steve Waksman will introduce us to his new book Live Music in America: A History from Jenny Lind to Beyoncé. Starting with Jenny Lind's fabled U.S. tour in the 1850s and winding all the way into the twenty-first century, Live Music in America is the first book to consider the history of live music in the U.S. across genres and time periods. Waksman’s research draws upon previously unstudied archival materials to shed new light on the origins of jazz, the emergence of rock 'n' roll and the rise of the modern music festival.
